About

Located just 20 minutes from downtown in the Forest Hills section of Tampa, Babe Zaharias Golf Course meanders through a tree-lined residential neighborhood. The golf course measures a modest 6,020 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines on "The Babe" are par 35, the back side sports four par-4 holes in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Fun course. Not a whole lot of creative hole layouts. Greens and tees are in good shape

Short and sweet

Not a long course. Great layout. There was no starter and the cart attendant doubled as the Marshall. Only gripe is that since there was no starter, 4 - 2some teed off before our 4some and amazingly we were stuck behind them the entire round. IMO, a 4some should never be waiting on a 2some the entire round.

There are better course in Tampa

Played on a GN Hot Deal but greens are terrible, just as bad as aerated greens or worst. Apparently Some kind of large sand bird picks the greens and damages it. We were the first group teed off and on 11, seems like a group was sent out in front of us which slowed us down on every hole after. They teed off on 1 when we finished 18, not sure how or why. Fairways and tee boxes were in decent shape.

Very Good Condition

Fairways and greens in very good shape compared to other public courses in area. This course offers

challenges for high handicap golfers but not so many to ruin a day out with friends.
